In his previous life, Shen Zhaowei had been a sensible person all his life.
Her father wanted her to take care of the overall situation, so she used the dowry left by her mother to fill the holes in the Shen family; her fiancé wanted her to be virtuous and meek, so she went around the family for him and endured grievances; the noble concubine wanted her to know the general situation, so she bowed her head and served tea, receiving cold looks.
Later, the third prince Xiao Chengjing ascended the throne, and the entire Shen family was imprisoned.
Wearing the queen's court dress, she knelt in the Changming Palace on a snowy night. What was waiting for her was not the love between husband and wife, but a cup of poisonous wine.
When she opened her eyes again, she went back to the month before her wedding.
The wedding dress sent by the third prince was spread all over the boudoir, and everyone in the house said that it was a great honor.
Shen Zhaowei picked up the scissors and cut off the gold thread of the wedding dress.
In this life, she will not be a good wife, a chess piece, or cover up anyone's ugliness.
She broke off the prince's engagement, took away her mother's dowry, turned over an old case, and married Xie Linyuan, a powerful official from a poor family that everyone feared.
Others laughed at her as she was crazy.
Only Xie Linyuan looked at her and asked, "What does Miss Shen want?"
Shen Zhaowei replied: "I want to live until they die."
Purpose: Women do not need to be trapped in the reputation of being virtuous. Only by being clear-headed and saving themselves can they regain control of their destiny.
